A significant number of mediocre rugs are made by the Baluchi tribes, which have settled in the region of Khorasan since the 18th century around Mashad, Torbat-e-Heydariyeh, Torbat-e-jam, Sarakhs, and in Sistan and Baluchestan. Some Baluchi Tribes in Afghanistan also weave rugs.

The Baluch rugs are geometrical and stylized in design, influenced by Turkmen and Caucasian designs. One of the designs, which the Baluchi weavers like to produce is in the shape of a tree generally known as 'The Tree of Life'. The designs of Harati, Botteh, and Mina-Khani are woven in stylized patterns too.

Baluch rugs are very light in weight with Senneh knots. They are often made of local wool. In the old times, the Baluchi tribesmen also used camel wool. The weft and warp of these rugs were taken from the wool of goats and sheep, but now cotton is usually used for this purpose.

Preferred colors are red, brown, black, and beige, and the dyes used are mostly natural. The dimension of Baluch rugs is rarely more than 65 sq. ft., and the most sought after and requested sizes are between the small rug and wide runner.
